Training packages

 The Basic Package includes the dog learning basic, on lead commands of Sit, Down, Stay, Heel, Come, and Place. During participation of the Basic Package, the dog will not “master” these commands/behaviors during the individual lesson session; it will be given a good foundation. The skills we teach dogs are perishable and training never stops; therefore it is imperative the owner/handler do their part and continue the training they are taught after the sessions are complete. 

This package includes 5 sessions lasting 45 minutes to an hour (the duration will depend on the dog). The owner/handler will be assigned “homework” and must be willing and able to dedicate approximately 30-45 minutes at least 4 days a week to conduct training exercises with the dog. In addition, the owner/handler will be asked to send three videos a week of the dog completing exercises. The videos will help me in monitoring progress and give any feedback or coaching that may be necessary. 

The cost of the basic package is $675

**A $150 non-refundable deposit is required to hold the clients spot on our training calendar. 

Complete payment is due at the first session.

 The Basic Plus Package includes everything listed in the Basic Package plus a foundation for off lead obedience, Recall/Here command, and the Place command. If time allows, we will also begin work in areas where distractions are present, such as a downtown area, Tractor Supply, Lowes, etc… As with the Basic Package, the dog will not “master” these commands/behaviors during the individual lesson session; it will be given a good foundation. The skills we teach dogs are perishable and training never stops; therefore, it is imperative the owner/handler do their part and continue the training they are taught after the sessions are complete. 

This package includes 8-10 sessions lasting 45 minutes to an hour (the duration will depend on the dog). The owner/handler will be assigned “homework”. To be successful, they must be willing and able to dedicate approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, 5 days a week, to conduct training exercises with the dog. These sessions do not have to be done all at once, if you prefer they can be broken into several sessions throughout the day.  

In addition, the owner/handler will be asked to send 3-5 videos a week of the dog completing exercises. The videos will help me in monitoring the progress of the training and give any feedback or coaching that may be necessary. 

This package includes e-collar conditioning. The e-collar is a training tool that when used properly, can give the dog confidence, increase and improve communication between the dog and handler, and grant the dog off leash freedom. I recommend the E-collar Technologies brand collar. An E-collar is included in the training package.  

The price of this package is $1,100.

 The Puppy Program is designed for puppies 12 weeks old to 20 weeks old and includes the dog learning basic, on lead commands of Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Place, and Heel. We will also work on manipulating the dog (example: handling dogs feet, picking the dog up, checking teeth, etc..), confidence building, and some exposure to environmental issues such as stairs. We will also discuss the importance of crate training, exercise, and mental stimulation. 

During participation in the Puppy Program, the  puppy will be given a good foundation for the basic commands. The skills we teach dogs are perishable and training never stops; therefore it is imperative the owner/handler do their part and continue the training they are taught after the sessions are complete. 

This package includes 5 sessions lasting 30 minutes to an hour (the duration will depend on the dog). The owner/handler will be assigned “homework” and must be willing and able to dedicate approximately 30-45 minutes at least 4 days a week to conduct training exercises with the dog. In addition, the owner/handler will be asked to send three videos a week of the dog completing exercises. The videos will help me as your trainer to monitor your progress and give any feedback or coaching that may be necessary.

The cost of the Puppy Program is $625

 The Board and Train Package is a three-week board and train program that includes the dog learning the Sit, Down, Stay, Heel (heel position as well as a walking heel), Come, and Place commands. This program will focus on on-lead obedience. If time allows, off-lead obedience will be added. The dog will also be put through simple confidence building exercises. 

Video updates are included throughout the training as well as some video lessons describing how to continue the training when the dog goes home. Depending on the length of video updates and the video lessons, they will be sent through email using Google Drive. Along with the video lessons, a “go home lesson” for the owners of the dog is included with this package. During participation in this program, the dog will receive a firm foundation for the above listed commands. Please understand the owner/handler must do their part and continue the training after the program is complete.

During the stay with me the dog will interact with my family. Also, depending on how he/she progresses through the program, the dog will be taken to locations where he/she will be exposed to environmental issues and distractions such as slick floors, open stairs, people, etc… 

While with me, the dog will be crated at bedtime and while I am not home, therefore crate training before starting the board and train is a requirement.

This package includes an electronic training collar, a prong or chain collar (if needed) and place board or cot for place work. 

After the dog has gone home, I will check in with the owners periodically to see how they have been doing with their training and if there are any issues that have come up. As part of a training guarantee, I will help the owner work through any issues that may arise.  

The cost of the three-week Board and Train Program is $2,500

***Your dog must be up to date on their rabies, parvo, bordetella vaccines. 

***Documentation of the above listed vaccinations is required before the training begins.
